8 WWE Hall Of Famers Who Would Be Better Presidents Than Donald Trump

2. Hulk Hogan

He is a real American, and he€™ll fight for the rights of every man and woman. It€™d be pretty cool to hear Hulk Hogan walk up to the podium, where Mean Gene would be standing with the microphone in-hand, all while blasting his €œReal American€ theme tune to give State of the Union addresses. He€™d hold his hand to his ear whilst fielding questions from the myriad of reporters. In times of tragedy, he€™d give that shooting glance of heartbreak he gave when Andre the Giant ripped his necklace off to set up their epic feud at WrestleMania III. He€™d refer to fellow world leaders as €œdude€ and €œbrother," and all would be right with the world. Listen, it€™s not as idyllic as it could be. Let€™s address the elephant in the room: Hulk Hogan said some stupid, racist stuff. It was heinous and terrible to think, let alone say. And a lot of folks can say he didn€™t know he was being recorded, but that€™s never an excuse. But at least he€™s sorry for saying those racist things he said in a dark period in his life, as opposed to Trump unabashedly (and somehow successfully) using racism as a platform to become the President.
Okay, so look, Hulk Hogan also has a sex tape, which isn€™t necessarily appealing to the populous at large, but hey, he€™s been on reality television! That€™s the selling point, right? Plus, Hogan also portrayed Mr. America, a masked superhero of freedom, so he's even more of a great candidate.
